Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ - the Message - have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives - words, actions, whatever - be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.
Colossians 3:15-17
There is nothing better than knowing your children are walking with Jesus! Last night, as I sat in my living room, the music was blaring from the basement as my children and friends were playing baseball (yes, baseball in the basement, on the wrestling mat......you have to love them for their creativity). Anyway, the song they were listening to made me smile from ear to ear and gave me comfort knowing my children were mindful of their God, and the hope and help that comes from knowing Jesus. They weren't afraid to belt out the words, "Just to know you and to make you known we lift your name on high, shine like the sun may darkness run and hide. We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives. It's time for us to more than just survive, we were made to thrive". These are the lyrics to Thrive by Casting Crowns and it warmed my heart to hear them singing their hearts out to God. To them it may be just another song they know the words to, but to God it is worship! To their mom upstairs, it is heartwarming and gives me peace that they are on the right track. Listening to them as they let every detail of their lives - playing baseball in the basement - be done in the name of the Master, Jesus. I leave you with this song today, and warn you.......don't keep those songs trapped in your head......belt them out! Sing your hearts out to God!
